You built our happy ending brick by brick, lie by lie
Left me to walk in the shadow of your cool goodbye
Promises that shatter ‘neath my feet, I fall behind
Face in the crowd, always searching but I’ll never find

How could you turn your back on this life you gave me
Abandoned a fragile soul needing your protection
How could you turn your back on these tears I’m crying
Cast my love aside, useless, forgotten.

The taste of your betrayal lingers in my mind
I never saw it coming, how my love was blind
Standing by so helplessly, wanting nothing but you
I watched as you destroyed everything I knew

How could you turn your back on this life you gave me
Abandoned a fragile soul needing your protection
How could you turn your back on these tears I’m crying
Cast my love aside, useless, forgotten.

You left me, but I’m stronger,
Found I can live without you.
You hurt me, but I’m stronger,
I will be better off now.

I’m going to turn my back on this love you gave me
Abandon my heartache, all my insecurities
I’m going to wipe away all these tears I’m crying
Cast this pain aside, useless, forgotten.
